Chapter 14: Against the Chu Army

Tens of thousands of ambush soldiers were exhausted, and the formation of the Wu army was already chaotic in the pursuit, and Wu Hou issued an order to mobilize the army, but only a few more than 1,000 people around obeyed.

The Huai army was like a bamboo, rushing down, and where it passed, the corpses of the Wu army were all over the field. Gong Yang Shuo commanded the army to divide into three teams, from the front, middle and rear, to cut the Wu army into three sections, and then led the last team of 4,000 people to cut off the retreat of these Wu troops.

The Huai army turned around and counterattacked, and the first military vehicle and soldiers who had just chased collided head-on with the Tengjia army. After a long journey of forty miles, these Wu soldiers were exhausted, but the Huai Tengjia army was just a training.

The vine armor army was in battle with three arrows, and then it formed a formation, and the Wu army was tired and the formation was scattered, how could it be stopped? In just a moment, the vine armor army was completely defeated. The speed of the Tengjia army did not decrease, and they pushed back towards the Wu army.

Wherever they passed, there was no one enemy at all. The Wu army was cut off from front to back, orders could not be conveyed, and the army fell into chaos, including a large number of new soldiers. Before, he pursued with high morale, but who knew that in just a moment, the army was crushed, and the morale dropped directly to the bottom, and there were countless people who fled in a hurry.

When the sun was about to set, the battlefield finally calmed down, with damaged chariots, mournful war horses, corpses of the Wu army all over the field, and tens of thousands of prisoners.

Wu Hou was even trapped in the military formation, relying on thousands of remnants to survive. There is no longer the same high-spirited appearance as before.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of elites of the Wu Kingdom, once lost, and the hundreds of years of Zongmiao Sheji was about to collapse, Wu Hou cried out loud from the heart: "Eighty thousand elites, once lost, what kind of face do you have to go to see your ancestors and ancestors!" As soon as he said that, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and he wanted to apologize for his sin.

"Your Majesty, no." Li Fan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Wu Hou's arm, and said: "Your Majesty, our army has been defeated, and we can't fight, but there are still tens of thousands of people in Meili, and tens of thousands of troops in Chu are coming, so you can't say anything about yourself, otherwise my Wu country is in danger!" ”

"I regretted not listening to my words, so that the army was gone. Meili is only left with strong people, how can he defeat the army of Huaiguo! Wu Hou said in pain.

"Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom are covered with thorns and frost and dew, and the road is blue, and there is already a land of size, how can future generations dare to abandon it lightly? Please also lift your will and focus on the shrine of Wu Guozong Temple! Li Fan said.

Wu Hou barely bothered to brace his spirits, and then prepared to flee with hundreds of remnants. But how could Wang Sheng, the duck in his mouth, let it fly away?

The reason for the siege but not the attack was because it was late, and there were still several remnants of the Wu army in the encirclement who resisted in groups, and if they were pressed too tightly, it would cause the sons to die and be injured.

Wang Sheng ordered these people to be surrounded, these Wu soldiers had no food, no tents, and at the same time, they were so exhausted that they couldn't escape at all, and they could only surrender obediently when the time came.

The night was thick, the surrounded Wu army wanted to break through, who knew that the outside had already laid a net, as soon as these soldiers approached, they saw a volley of rockets, a large number of soldiers were shot, and the Wu army fled in embarrassment.

When it was dawn the next day, when the summer had passed, the temperature at night was extremely low, and the remnants of the Wu army were frozen all night, hungry, thirsty and hungry, and no longer had the slightest strength, so they surrendered one after another. As for those who did not surrender, they were also broken by the Huai soldiers in a battle.

Wu Hou and his superiors were all captured.

The 80,000 elites of the Wu State were wiped out by the Huai State in a battle, with more than 30,000 beheaded, more than 40,000 prisoners, and the rest fled. The entire state of Wu barely had the slightest power to fight back.

"Hahaha, the 80,000 army of Wu was wiped out in one battle, and Xu Qing also made the first contribution in this battle!" Wang Sheng said happily.

Xu Mao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This battle is all thanks to the command of the king, and the subordinates dare not take credit!" ”

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Xu Qing doesn't have to be modest, the children of my clan are one with the office!" ”

"Your Majesty, this battle has been won, but Meili has not yet been captured, and there are still tens of thousands of strong among them, don't be careless!" Ram Shuo stepped forward.

"Wu Hou has been arrested, why don't you let him persuade Meili to surrender?" Another secretary next to him said.

"Wu Hou does not surrender, and he is even more reluctant to persuade Meili to surrender."

"Your Majesty, although Meili is big, but there are only some strong people among them, it is not difficult to break it, and the victims are the people of Wu who return to their hearts." Ram Shuo said: "Moreover, the army of Chu has arrived, if you break Meili first, I am afraid that the army of Chu will attack." ”

"Then let Meili go for the time being, and go to deal with the army of Chu first." Wang Sheng quickly made a decision.

Meili, the capital of Wu State, although there are tens of thousands of strong, but the combat power is low, and it can only be used to defend the city. However, although he does not plan to attack Meri for the time being, he cannot ignore it.

Wang Sheng immediately selected a few soldiers, let the two teams of soldiers escort them, and went to Meili to persuade them to surrender with the captured Wu Guojing banner. Five thousand men were then left to guard forty thousand unarmed captives.

To prevent the captives from resisting, all were strung with ropes, and only a third of the food was given.

In order to deal with the Huai army, the state of Chu directly sent 70,000 troops to help the state of Wu, but what the state of Chu never expected was that as soon as their army arrived in the state of Wu, the state of Huai had already annihilated all the 80,000 troops of the state of Wu.

Qu Tong, who led the army of Chu, heard that Huai had annihilated the army of Wu in a short period of time, and he did not dare to attack for a while. However, if the 70,000 Chu army retreated, they would not be able to explain, and for a while, Qu Tong was in a dilemma.

Wang Sheng led the army to come, and then lined up to invite battle.

Seeing that the number of the Huai army was only half of the Chu army, Qu Tong decided to go to battle with a large army. The two armies faced each other, the army of Chu attacked, and the Huai army was not afraid at all.

The Tengjia army was the vanguard, assisted by military vehicles, and broke three formations in a row in the first battle, and the Chu army lost three formations in a row, and almost the Chinese army was chiseled. I had to keep putting the reserves on top, which was barely blocked.

The large array of the Chu army was shaken, and Ming Jin had to withdraw his troops. In the next few days, the Chu army fought several times, but they were all defeated and won less, and thousands of losses were lost, and the morale of the Chu army was low for a while.

But he still did not retreat, and seeing the Chu army fighting against him, Wang Sheng couldn't help but have a headache. This general of the Chu army is very cautious, and it should be said that he has been cautious to the point of timidity.

Wang Sheng let the army deliberately leak some flaws several times, trying to tempt the Chu army to attack, but the Chu army actually held back, except for the first attack was broken by Wang Sheng with rattan armor soldiers three times in a row, and after almost collapsed, the Chu army was mainly defensive.

Wang Sheng didn't want to attack, so he could only spend it with him.

"This damn Qu Tong is really a shrunken turtle!" Wang Sheng scolded.

"Your Majesty, the Chu people retreated, but they were afraid of our Huai State soldiers, our army won a big victory, and the Chu army did not dare to fight, why not send people to attack its grain route and force it to retreat?"

"The last time the Chu State was robbed because of the grain route, it was defeated, how could it make this mistake twice?"

"Your Majesty, you don't want to cut off the grain route of the Chu army, but make a gesture, if our army attacks its grain route, the Chu army will definitely panic!"

"The minister has a friend, once was bitten by a snake, and then the minister invited him to drink, just took a sip and found that there was a snake shadow in the wine, and after going back, he fell ill, and felt that there was a snake in his abdomen, and then the minister went to visit, and asked the reason only to find that the snake shadow was a bow arm on the wall, and the friend was cured that day."

"Because of the last defeat of the Chu army, I must be worried in my heart, our army with the power of a great victory, the Chu army is afraid, if the army is sent to attack the grain road, the Chu army will not dare to fight again, and retreat in a hurry! This is called the cup bow snake shadow also! ”
